Abstract

The central thesis of this extremely well-argued book, the published version of a Ph.D. dissertation obtained jointly from the Philosophy Departments at King's College/ University of London and the University of Durham, which received high praise from such renowned professors of philosophy as David E. Cooper, Chris Long and David Owen, is that Nietzsche developed in his unpublished writings, the Nachgelassene Fragmente, a concept of the will to power that constitutes a metaphysical "system" which describes the world as it is.
